The Last Starborn Seer

by Venetia Constantine

Book 1 in Chronicles of Arcelia

The hook is Leilani trying to break the Sickening before her magic breaks her. The romance stays simmering, but the quest has teeth: rival realms, blood rites, a spectre on the trail, and a heroine who might become the thing everyone fears.
